Natural gas is expected to be the fastest growing primary energy source: its share in world energy demand will increase from 23 % in 2000 to 28 % in 2030, mostly at the expense of coal and nuclear energy. The projected growth in LNG in the base case is expected to increase at 6.7 percent per year from 2005 to 2020.

Technological improvements in LNG have significantly reduced the costs of production and transportation of gas over long distances. With more limited options for oil discoveries, companies have turned their attention to "Monetizing stranded gas assets"

This conference aims to provide a platform to address key issues and opportunities in technology in the LNG industry.
